Re: 1978 v-king
Keep me posted. It will be a nice long weekend. Just have to let little guys mommy know as soon as I can so we can plan on things for him but either way it will be no prob. I could even bring my hired help now that he is back from job in n.dakota.

Re: 1978 v-king
He said he did cut into it some last week. Not sure what all he got done though.

Re: 1978 v-king
I have been working 10+ hour days for the last month and quite honestly I haven't been all that motivated on this project. I think once the viper is put away I will get into it. So far I have started to cut it apart and am planing. I'm going to go center steer with one seat behind the driver. I'm going to bring the sides in similar to a xr allison but that's still in the planning stages.
Here is what I've got done, and a little teaser pic.
Man there is a lot of foam in this thing.
A fresh 280 that I just got back from ruck, I have a set of 260 electronics and a brucato acu for fine tuning. If it isn't fast enough I'll put a nitrox kit on this one too, it worked great on the little 2.4

Re: 1978 v-king
Looks like a bomb went off in it. Good start. I'd like to finish VNo2 so I can start another one. Bill

Re: 1978 v-king
That's up to you. It's just for floatation when you flip your boat over. I am going to leave what's left in mine but won't replace it if it comes out.hydrostream76 wrote:that looks like all the foam that is under the front deck

Chet, that a lot of foam! Was that just from the side foam boxes or was some of that from under the floor too?

Re: 1978 v-king
So far that's about half of what is in there between the foam boxes and under the gunnels.
There is still the foam under the floor.
